Many of the dishes are made with maize (corn). There is also heavy use of pork and seafood. The most notable dish of El Salvador Recipes is the pupusa, thick handmade corn flour or rice flour flatbread stuffed with cheese, chicharrón (cooked pork meat ground to a paste consistency), refried beans or loroco (a vine flower bud native to Central America). There are also vegetarian options, often with ayote (a type of squash) or garlic. Some restaurants even offer pupusas stuffed with shrimp or spinach which are served with salsa roja, a cooked tomato sauce, often served with curtido. Pollo encebollado is another popular Salvadoran dish that contains chicken simmered with onions. Salvadoran cheeses, queso duro (hard cheese), queso fresco (fresh cheese), and cuajada, are eaten with meals. Two other typical El Salvador Recipes are yuca frita and panes rellenos. Yuca frita is deep-fried cassava root served with curtido (a pickled cabbage, onion and carrot topping) and chicharron with pepesca (fried baby sardines). The yuca is sometimes served boiled instead of fried. Panes rellenos ("stuffed bread") are warm submarine sandwiches. The turkey or chicken is marinated and then roasted with Pipil spices and hand-pulled. This sandwich is traditionally served with turkey or chicken, tomato, and watercress along with cucumber, cabbage, and traditional stuffed panes that do not include mayonnaise. Other well-known El Salvador Recipes include Carne Guisada (saucy beef with potatoes and carrots), Lomo Entomatado (beef with tomatoes), carne asada (grilled steak, usually served with a type of Salvadoran salsa called chimol), pasteles de Carne (meat pies), Pollo Guisado con Hongos (chicken with mushrooms), Pacaya planta (palm flowers breaded in cornmeal, fried and served with tomato sauce), Pavo Salvadoreño (roast turkey with sauce, often eaten for Christmas), Ceviche de Camarones (lime-cooked shrimp), and Pescado Empanizado (breaded, fried fish fillets). Salvadorean Chorizo is short, fresh (not dried), and tied into twin sausages. ~~~ Social Media ~~~ 👥 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/World-Recipes/ 👥 Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/213884180293551 🐦 Twitter: https://twitter.com/aroadtotravel P Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ourbigescape
